World of Warcraft patch moet voor meer balans in PvP zorgen

Als we kijken naar de patch notes, dan valt op dat Monks in healing spec er vooral met betrekking tot PvP op vooruit gaan. Priests gaan er in het algemeen eveneens op vooruit, terwijl het erop lijkt dat Hunters er het meest op achteruit gaan. Zij hebben enkele ‘decreases’ te verwerken gekregen. Ook lijkt de update voor de class Shaman geen windeieren te leggen.

De balans tussen de classes is iets waar Blizzard continue mee bezig is. De volledige patch notes staan hieronder:
